  12. I,ve just finished fitting a Lawrence HDS5gen2 to the Kingray,got it for my birthday(70) So far only have tried the simulation, to see if it worked,came up with a map somewhere in central USA:insane: It seems quite easy to understand, BUT the big Q is about the map card.WHich one and why?? I fish outa Crowdy and need info for this area only not SA NT etc. can anyone help here? Went with the Lawrence as Barkley Marine has a demo set up they gave me a heads up and then let me play on it for hours then I had to take one home, I looked at a lot of others in the 1K range and there is not all that much between them, just go with the one that turns you on and good luck.
